Harry Reid: “I think the picture here says it all. We have on the floor now two of the majority party and two of the minority party…”

On the recordFebruary 11, 2004
I think the picture here says it all. We have on the floor now two of the majority party and two of the minority party, representing diverse areas of this country, including Wyoming, Missouri, Vermont, and Nevada... My point is that this legislation is bipartisan. It is legislation that is for every part of the country, as evidenced on the floor. I was speaking here, off the record, with the distinguished Senator from Missouri. We are going to pass this legislation now in a matter of hours. It is imperfect, but it is a really good piece of legislation to allow the director of the Department of Highways in the State of Nevada to have some ability to look down the road, as they have a continuum for money, so we can complete projects we have to do in Nevada.
